About The Event
Main Speaker: Steve Quartermain, Government Chief Planner
At this major event for Suffolk Design we will explore where Government policy is heading around design and planning.
• What changes did last year’s NPPF revision bring?
• What has that meant for planning decisions and appeals?
• What new Government initiatives are in the pipeline?
• How will the Government reconcile quantity with quality in housing?
Steve will be joined by a panel of leading industry figures and local leaders to reflect on what this means for Suffolk. How can local authorities, developers and designers best respond to the changing policy context?
This event will also showcase the latest developments in the Suffolk Design initiative, including progress on developing a comprehensive online resource to guide the design of new development in the county.
